FitDog Friday: How to burn off energy on a hot and humid day

My corgis hate hot weather. They really prefer to stay indoors when it's over 80 degrees and there is any humidity at all. This can make getting in enough activity a challenge as the Washington, DC area is notoriously steamy this time of year. Fortunately, the boys are more than willing to play fetch in our chilly basement. While it doesn't make up for an hour long walk, it does take the edge off.

Here they are playing fetch. Well, Wilson plays fetch, and Jimmy does his best to get in the way. Be sure to mute your speakers as there is lots of barking and my loud voice much too close to the camera!

Reggie is not a fan of our hot August. He lays down every few yards on any walk that he considers too warm. So the indoor games are going on here, too. Football fetch and a little game of chase the length of the master bdrm. Can't wait for cooler weather so we can get this wild boy back outside!

We have had a really cool/cloudy summer at our house - until today! Rita hates super hot weather, so we are going to try to keep her entertained in the house today. Unfortunately, she's not much for fetch, but will play for a few minutes. So far we've done some training, and played with the puzzle toy. Guess we'll try a little game of fetch now!

OH, the momz used to live in DC and knows only too well those ugly hot and humid August days...stay inside! On days like that, you do what you can in the AIR-CONDITIONING! Looks like they were having a great time. Thanks for joining the Hop.

Rocco about had a stroke listening to the squeak and barking in the video!! He wants to know where the fun is happening! We play lots of indoor fetch too... we may need to do that NOW! haha!Your pals,Diane and Rocco
